Don't look down... Amusement park visitors spend HOURS at suspended at 300 feet as ride stops suddenly for second time in two weeks

Twenty riders expecting a short thrill were left dangling at 300 feet for nearly four hours when the Windseeker ride at Southern California's Knott's Berry Farm amusement park stalled.

Knott's said in a statement that the ride, which lifts fun-seekers high over the park with their legs dangling and spins them in a circle, came to a stop when its security system activated at about 4pm Wednesday.

It was the second time in two weeks that the ride stopped suddenly, and the it will remain closed while the cause is investigated.

'They didn't tell me that in the brochure,' said Jimmy Garrison, a tourist from Baltimore who was stuck on the ride.

Putting the bad feelings behind, Mr Garrison was sure to get a souvenir T-shirt that read 'I SURVIVED WINDSEEKER' before he left.
